"Close Encounters Of The Furred Kind" made me laugh, but I wonder if Giacchino would do this sort of thing if he scored a Holocaust movie or something. "Reich Here, Reich Now" is the first one that came to mind.

Level Plaguing Field
Look Who’s Stalking
The Great Ape Processional
Past Their Primates
Close Encounters Of The Furred Kind
Monkey To The City
The Lost City Of Chimpanzee

Monkey See, Monkey Coup
Gorilla Warfare
The Apes Of Wrath
Gibbon Take

Track for track, this must be the greatest, most punningly brilliant Giacchino track list ever assembled. I never saw his first Apes movie and never heard the music for it, but I'm tempted to buy this album, music unheard, just to have these titles playing in my iPod!

All kidding aside, me neither. It's ok once or twice, but for everything?
It's probably why I much prefer Marco Beltrami's approach, where he and his producers are not bludgeoning you over the head with stupid, stupid, brainless puns.
A sampling of some of Beltrami's finest, which (IMO) are infinitely less obnoxious then what Giacchino and crew are up to...
Blade II, "Nomack the Knife"
Blade II, "Charge of the Light Grenade"
Carrie, "Mommie Dearest"
A Good Day to Die Hard, "Get to the Choppah!"
Hellboy, "Stand By Your Man"
The Hurt Locker, "There Will Be Bombs"
I Am Dina, "Swiss Miss"
In the Electric Mist, "Score vs. Airboat"
Knowing, "Roll Over Beethoven"
Max Payne, "Topless Fanfare"
Scream, "Red Herring"
Scream, "Backdoor Gail"
Terminator 3, "What Do You Want on Your Tombstone?"
The Thing, "Meating of the Minds"
Underworld: Evolution, "He is My Sonshine"
The Wolverine, "Hidden Fortress"
The Wolverine, "Sword of Vengeance"
3:10 to Yuma, "Chinese Democracy"
I find a lot of these to be smart jokes, and most importantly they work with context in their respective films! That is the key to a good pun or joke cue name, I feel. I liked a lot of Giacchino's track names on Let Me In, where they had context. But after John Carter, and even some of the first Star Trek score I am so baffled by them! Star Trek Into Darkness has a track titled "The Kronos Wartet." I mean, what the fuck is a "Wartet" in the English language?!

Yeah, the goofy track title trend rubs me the wrong way. I mean, they don't have to be Herrmann titles like "The Bus" or "The Hill" or anything, but naming some of this great music with godawful puns tends to give the impression that it isn't to be taken seriously, when clearly the care taken with the music itself says otherwise.
That's what I'm talking about. We all debate this back and forth every time he puts something out. For me, it sounds like he and his team put more care into these titles than he does with the scores themselves anymore.

That would be a very wrong impression.

Judging from The Family Stone, it's safe to say he wouldn't.
But The Family Stone was before he had an ego.

Maybe you´re just disappointed that one of the tracks wasn´t titled "Shawn of the Planet of the Apes"?
